Send him to the gallows

What sort of country allows a convicted hard drugs smuggler to be released on licence after serving just two years in jail and then allows him to march through central London dressed up as a suicide bomber?That's not being 'liberal'- its being crazy.The answer is not to send Omar Khayam back to jail but to where all those convicted of dealing in hard drugs should go- to the gallows.

I fail to see how letting a convicted hard drugs dealer out on licence after just two years in jail- and then failing to arrest him for dressing up as a suicide bomber in a city where many people had been killed only a few month earlier by suicide bombers is 'an exemplary demonstration of the effectiveness of our justice system'. It's a demonstration of just how feeble our criminal justice system has become.

This blog may now be less 'free' than Harry's Place and Tim Worstall's, but it is as free as David Aaronovitch's blog- comments there also have to be moderated- and decidely more free than Oliver Kamm's and Stephen Pollard. Here's a suggestion Engelbert. Why don't you send an email to the latter pair asking why they don't allow comments at all. Joseph Stalin would surely be proud of them.
